Hello everyone. I created a project using source code in visual studio 2022. After editing the files, I clicked the build option. The application was built successfully with no error messages. But, when I browse the installed folder and try to open the built application, it didn't open. Please suggest me the steps to be followed.

    Hello,

    This is an expected behavior.

    Since Maui is developed based on the WinUI3 application framework on the Windows platform, you need to package the application into MSIX or publish it as an executable program in an unpackaged form through the Publish operation before you can start it.

    Please refer to the following document.

    Best Regards,

    Alec Liu.
